DIGITAL SOFTWARE
I’ve been working with the development team of an exciting new digital event management platform called Qmeeto – think ‘Quick Meeting Organiser’.
Hello, I’m Liz Franklin. I’m a freelance Events Director with over 15 years global experience with a focus in medical and digital communications. I hold a 2:1 BA (Hons) in Events Management from Leeds Beckett University. Other sectors include automotive, telecommunications and academia.
I’m enthusiastic and versatile with an exceptional eye for detail and am motivated by delivering successful events. I’m proud of my high quality and transparent work ethic and always strive to be the best I can be. I love to work in both team and individual environments and my excellent interpersonal skills ensure that I’m quick to build great working relationships. I have a wealth of industry contacts and thrive on staying connected and enjoying this dynamic profession.
Includes advisory boards, investigator meetings, stand-alone meetings, satellite symposia and steering committees. Client/supplier/internal liaison, venue management, logistics & events planning, scheduling and financial management.
Identifying the significance of modern technology and its ever-changing developments whilst remaining sympathetic to industry needs. What works well and how to enhance the delegate experience whilst meeting clients’ requirements. Focus on iPad functionality and content development for large standalone meetings.
Managing communications with delegates/ KOLs/ speakers/clients. Recognising the importance of clear and concise communications to ensure efficient management of all attendees pre and post event.
Providing support both in a management or supporting role. I strive to add value, trouble-shoot, be flexible and reliable whilst on-site and most importantly enjoy it!
Liz quickly became "the" reference for our team on the events side. Experience, pragmatic and fun to work with, she is also a professional with excellent attention to detail, a sense of integrity and ability to deliver under pressure. Highly recommended.
Stephen Flynn, Associate Director, Britannia Pharmaceutical Ltd
Having experienced working with Liz in employee and contractor capacities, I have always found her to be detail orientated, conscientious and hard working. She is able to take on varying tasks and work independently with little oversight and deliver to deadline. Her onsite event management skills are excellent and clients and peers are reassured by her confidence and warm to her friendly personality. I would have no hesitation recommending Liz for event/project management work.
Jackie Rawes, Director of Investigator & Scientific Meetings, iQvia Ltd
If you are looking for an Events Manager who is calm under pressure, highly organised, professional, charming and great fun to work with, then look no further than Liz Franklin. In the many events that we have worked on together, no situation has been beyond her capabilities - and that has included having a steel band playing at a wedding in an adjacent room and organising an advisory board with leading Global experts in infectious disease with 2 weeks notice!
Diane Sutherland, Group Professional Development Director at Fishawack Communications
I have worked with Liz on a couple of high profile, high pressure events for a pharmaceutical client we share. She remained throughout a meticulous, calm and resourceful project manager, able to cover a broad span of the project from the science to the logistics and she showed great skill in keeping the end goal in focus: for herself, her fellow team members and her client. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Liz for any live event projects.
Chris Elmitt, Managing Director, Crystal Interactive
Liz is meticulously organised and a fountain of knowledge when it comes to all aspects of meeting arrangements (hotels, travel etc). She forms very good working relationships with clients, who rightly trust her to provide the best service for them. She is upbeat and always a joy to work with (I miss her!).
Tamsin Redston, Associate Managing Partner, Lucid Group
I have known Liz for a number of years and when she came to me at touch associates we took her on for a number of large and medium sized events. Liz is professional, creative, well organised and above all incredibly supportive, nothing is too much trouble. Given Liz's combined skills and industry knowledge, I would not hesitate to recommend her services. Without a doubt she will help you to develop and deliver a fantastic event.
Nicky Ratcliffe, Associate Director, Touch Associates ltd
I thoroughly enjoyed working with you, it was so fantastic to be in such good hands when I was fortunate to be. You are so good at breaking down complex challenges into key tasks, and really valued hearing your opinion on project decisions. These skills are sure to lead to success just about anywhere.
Bridget Lilliehöök, , Global Project Manager, Novo Nordisk A/S, Headquarters
I have had the great pleasure of working alongside Liz for the last three years. One of the highest calibre Event Managers I’ve worked with, Liz approaches each project with exceptional professionalism and dedication. Most recently I partnered with Liz on a series of high profile, global meetings for a pharmaceutical client. In addition to the usual full service project management, these meetings also comprised many different technical elements – Liz’s in depth knowledge of these technical requirements made her the perfect partner and thanks in large part to this excellent working relationship, the meetings were hugely successful. The programme was designed to be highly interactive and Liz managed this entire process, including liaison with the iPad vendor, preparation of the relevant technical briefing documents and all onsite management of rehearsals, testing and live shows. Working with Liz is a joy – it is unusual to find such a combination of efficiency, experience and level-headedness, all topped off with a truly wonderful sense of humour.
Kelly Cartwright,, Senior Project Manager, Watermeadow
I have have had the pleasure of working with Liz on a number of large projects over the past year. These projects have been among the largest and most complicated projects we have been involved in. Liz has been an essential link between our services (participant involvement through the use of an iPad solution) and the content side of things. She is professional, knowledgeable, provides valuable suggestions for improvements – to both solutions and processes and is also great fun to work with. She encourages team spirit – for our joint projects ultimately leading to the client experiencing their different vendors to function as one team. This is quite rare on big projects and it is very much appreciated by both me, my colleagues and the clients. I have enjoyed the collaboration and look forward to working with Liz on future projects.
Emil Damkjær Oustrup, Partner, Consensus Online
Liz is an excellent all-round Event Manager. She is both creative and solution-focussed which results in impeccable events, delivered in accordance with the schedule and budget. A particular strength is her management style, and her ability to build solid relationships with all stakeholders. Having worked on a number of events with her, ranging from Ad Boards to Standalone meetings for 600+ delegates, I can vouch for her competence as well as the ray of sunshine she brings to any events team.
Cassie Kendrew, Project Manager (Events), Watermeadow
I have had the pleasure to work with Liz for many years – she is a very experienced and highly professional Events Manager / Project Manager who is very focused and adapts well to all situations. She has an excellent rapport with clients, and has no problem liaising and guiding all members of the extended team during an event. Liz is a great motivator and always manages to stay cheerful even under sometimes challenging conditions. I would have no hesitation in recommending Liz.
Andrea Wright, Andrea Wright Event Management
Liz is forward-thinking and solution focussed. She takes a pragmatic and logical approach when reviewing digital platforms and has a great ability to consider intricate detail whilst maintaining a vision of the bigger picture on her projects. Her evident experience of working with many blue chip clients means she is always able to relate her work within the confounds of her industry at all times. She is a pleasure to work with and is a great addition to our team. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending her.
